This official emblem celebrates the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on 6 May 2023. The emblem is created with the flora of the four nations of the United Kingdom:
the rose for England
the thistle for Scotland
the daffodil for Wales
the shamrock for Northern Ireland
These natural forms combine to describe St Edward’s Crown, used for the coronation of British monarchs.
CAROL SERVICE

Many thanks to all those who helped set up and run the fete and to all those who attended. The church provided much needed cover for teas, cakes and books!
Despite the rain, £1475 was raised; a sum that will nearly cover the annual cost of insurance for the church.
